Lord RADNOR presented petitions from Bangor, Ald borough, Irving, and several other places, praying for the immediate abolition of negro apprenticeship. The Bishop of LINCOLN presented a petition from Stam ford to the same effect, signed, amongst others, by 0.1 . : ;;;orgy of that truth. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented petitions from Lay ton and various other places to the same effect. Tee Marquis of CLEVELAND had been requested, in [elle absenegstf an Illustrious Duke, who was detained from his 'place by illness, to present petitions to the same effect from Plymouth, the inhabitants of Norwich, Redruth, and Bradford, in Yorkshire. The Noble Marquis likewise presented similar petitions which had been sent to himself, from Tielby, in Lin colnshire, Stockton-upon-Tees, and several other places. LordL YNDH UR ST presented a similar petition (we under stood) from Hackney, signed by 3,000 persons. Amongst the signatures he observed that of Dr. Pye Smith and as it had been said he had signed a petition inconsitent with this, he begged that it might be read. He (the Noble and Learned Lord) knew Dr. Pye Smith, too well to supposo that he would sign an inconsistent petition on the same subject. The petition which he had signed before must have been long since, and before his Noble and Learned Friend's Bill was introduced. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had not meant to say that it was inconsistent with this petition, but it was a petition not in such strong terms as the present, and in terms to which he (the Noble Marquis) could agree. The Marquis of SLIGO, in presenting a large heap of petitions for the entire emancipation of the negroes on the Ist of August next, read a letter from one of the firm of Hankey and Co., stating that on the Ist of August the apprenticeship system should cease upon their West Indian estates.— ( Hear.) He did not wish to say much respecting a declara tion which he had made upon a former night ; but as his Noble Friend near him (we believe, Lord Melbourne) had made allusion to it, he wished to say that his declaration was, by no means, made in a hurry, —( Hear.) On the contrary, he had thought much upon the matter, and what he did say was the result of long and mature deliberation. Lord MELBOURNE made some observations in reply! Ibut not one wor d was heard.in the gallery. The Noble Lord took the seat next to the Marquis of Sligo, and a friendly ex- Iplanation seemed to take place between the two Noble Lords.. I i Lord CA RNA RVO N presented a number of petition% Ippon the same subject. The Earl of UXBRIDGE and the Earl of BURLINGTON also resented numerous petitions on the same subject. The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition numerously igned from Burton, for the immediate and total abolition of lavery in every form. On looking at the petition he found hat it was signed by a great number of females, but he was of satisfied that those ladies had fully considered the subject. Lord BROUGHAM had also a great number of petitions to present on this subject, and he thought c hat the p e titi oner s h a d j ust as many opportunities s his Noble Friend of considering the subject of lavery, if not more. The Noble Lord then presented pe itions from R o chdale, N o tti ng ha m , an d a num b er of other laces. Tho Noble Lord stat e d th a t h e h a d now presented wards of GOO petition s i n the last few days on thi s bject-134 on Wednesday, 385 y es t er d ay , an d up ards of a hundred to-day. H e s h ou ld not b e a bl e to resent any more till after th e E as t er recess, as h e s h ou l d b e - treble to attend in his pla ce aga i n un til t h at t i me ; b ut a N o b le t p ord had undertaken to present those which should be sent to him ill his absence. He had received a gratifying communication in favour of the entire abolition of traffic in human beings through. out the world. That enlightened country, France, devoted to free institutions and the progress of liberty, had appointed a Committee to consider the subject, as far as France was concerned—and no doubt considering the enlight ened views of the persons forming the Committee the report would be most gratifying. But he had received a corn inunication from a gentleman in the confidence of her Majesty's Government, ofgrcat capacity both civil and military, stating that the Pacha of Egypt had given the subj e ct th e ki n d es t consideration, and entered into it with the most hearty good will, in order to abolish it throughout his dominions. There were upwards of 15,000 African Negroes carried into his dominions yearly, but they were not employed in field labour—only in domestic labour, and treated with the greatest kindness, so that their condition was infinitely better than that of our Negroes in the British Colonies. Th e greatest difficulty the Pasha had in at once abolishing the Slave Trade, as far as he was concerned, was his fear of in ability to have domestic servants supplied; but he (the Noble and Learned Lord) had no doubt that that difficulty would speedily be got over. The Paella was establishing schools, granting endowments to them to a considerable amount, and encouraging education through.. out Cairo, Alexandria, and the other towns in his dominions, and entertained the highest respect for our insti tutions, as well as sheaved the greatest kindness to all who re sorted thither from hence. The Noble and Learned Lord then presented a petition from Lyme Regis in favour of national education, and praying that the Bill on their Lordships' table might be passed into a law. Also petitions from George street Chapel, Glasgow, Relief Church Glasgow, the inhabitants of Whitehorn, the Voluntary Church, Camp beltown, in Argyleshire ; the United Associated Church of ginnhorn ; the inhabitants of Newburgh in Fifeshire ; the First United Congregated Association of Dumfries; the in habitants of Earlstown and its neighbourhood ; the United Secession Church of St. Andrews, in Leith ; the United Associated Church of Dumbarton ; the Uni ted Secession Church of Penryth ; the inhabi tants of Campbeltoun ; the inhabitants of Auchtermuchty ; the Associated C hurch of Carr on Wharf, Glasgow, agai ns t further en dowments to the Ch urc h o f Scotland. Also a petition from a pace in the county of D er b y, pray ing for the tota l abolition of pluralities in the Church. The Noble and Learned Lord then presented several petitions likewise praying for a reduced rate of postage. INFANT PRISONERS IN THE PENITENTIARY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid on the table the Report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the cases of certain infant prisoners confined in the Peni tentiary at Millbank. Lord LYNDHLTRST gave notice that, upon an early day, he should brin g the subject of this report u n d er t h e considera tion of their Lordships. The Report concluded with expressing the approbation of the Committee of the conduct of the officers of the Peniten tiary, but they withheld their opinions as to the alteration of the building, as that subject was already before a Parliamentary Committee. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said after the recess he would move for a Committee to inquire into the operation of the Poor-law Bill ill certain cases to which lie had referred on a former occasion.

Lord, Esq., 13, Northumberland street, Strand. grant any imm e di a t e rel i ef or a,.is -,, ernruent had stated not stand t o the chief towns. With respect to th e quest i on as to t} ,e statements in the Report, the goble Earl had overrated the o :dantity of destitution which existed. raking into consid':iration the church sittings, the chapel sittings, and he number ii the dissenting places of worship, the proportion was ra lier 'nor':, than 44 per cent. to the amount of the whole population, and , in" . ..ied as much as was necessary for the usual proportion who could ttend divine Ivo:ship. With respect also to Glasgow, the amount of leficiency was not very great. Let them look how the matter stood, in the first place there must be no free sittings. The ministers of the •hurch did not like them ; the congregation did not like them. They vere contrary to the feelings, the habits, and the prejudices of those vho wanted s,ats in the churches. It was considered a degradation. Che ministers did not like free. sittings, because it made their congre tations uncertain ; their churches were filled with one set of people one lay and with a different set on another. The ministers liked a certain, , Thigregation over whom they might have influence. But whatever night be the reason, it was admitted on all hands that free sittings 'mild not be had. The Noble Earl admitted that to a certain ex ent the untet sittings wei e not necessarily unoccupied. That to a ccrtain degree militated against the argument of the Noble because it diminished the evils of the want of accommodr ion. Bi P -HULL and SELBY RAILWAY. CALL of FIVE POUNDS per SHARE.

The terms cunningly made use of in the Advertisements and Cir culars which have lately appeared on this subject, are calculated greatly to mislead and bewilder the Publie, as to the real state of the question. 'This circumstance has forced upon J. T. Betts and Co. the determination to show the facts of the case ; and to exo nerate themselves from all risk of being identified with those who, jealous of the high and established eharactef of their Patent Brandy, thus labour to induce a belief that they are enabled to offer an arti cle capable of sustaining a competition with it. The fact has never been disputed, that previously to the intro duction of Bett's Patent Brandy, that which was manufactured in England was a vile and noxious composition, alike offensive to the palate and injurious to health. It is not less certain that all such compositions, even those of modern production, have been of a character in no one instance calculated to obtain the sanction of men of science, which would have been earnestly put forward in their support, had such evidence of their value existed. But, in lieu of Testimonials of the most distinguished Chemists, by whom the Patent Brandy has been analyzed ; and the recommendation of the first Physicians, resting on their avowed conviction, that it is not only equa , ' but absol u t e l y an d d ec id edly preferable, to that ma nufactured in France, fox medical purposes, the Public are treated, on one side, with an article ludicrously designated " Improved Brant: T," by a person who i s no t, nor ever was, a Distiller ; and on the'ctber, by parties (from whom, considering their station in life, any ettempt at deception was least to be expected,) offering an imitation Brandy, which they impudently insult the understand ing of the Public by denominating " Cognac Brandy." It is to place these delusive representations in their true light that J. T. Bette and Co. thus advert to them ; and they again beg to press upon the attention of th e i r F r i en d s an d the Pulic, the following very simple and intelligible facts, as a guide for the avoid ance of the disappointments to which such delusions, where suc cessful, must inevitably lead. None other but theirs is pro'ected by a Patent Right—none other has the advantage of high chemical testimony in its favour—nor is any of them supported by corre sponding recommendations of the medical profession. These short Points being borne in mind, and the constantly increasing growth of their trade, for a succession of years, compared with that of the e phemeral establishments forced into existence by jealousy of their 34 "" , , J. T. Betts and Co. conceive they need only add, that their only Establishment is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, 1 ! - Iinining the Cattle Market, where the Patent Brandy may be had, ei%er pale or coloured, sent free of expense to any part of the I T °ma,. in quantitie s no t l ess t h an T wo G a ll on s, at E ig ht een Shil "ngs pei - Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, for Cash on delivery.

The Earl of ABERDEEN had already had occasion more than once to call the attention of the House to the state of the Church of Scotland, and particularly to urge on the notice of her Majesty's Government the inability of members of that Church as at present Situated, to meet and contend with the great extent of des titution and the absence of all re:igious instruction which prevailed in many parts of the country. He only referred to this subject now in consequence of the new character which it had assumed both from the reports laid on the table of this House from a Committee ap pointed to inquire into the matter, and also from the declaration made by his Noble Friend opposite of the plan which it was intended should be pursued by her Majesty's Government in dealing with this most important question. The plan as detailed by the Noble Viscount he took to be briefly this. First, to refuse any assistance to the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, the state of which had been described so the report, in order to afford them the means of affording that religious instruction which appeared to be so much needed ; and also, by a parity of reasoning, or by whatever process the Noble Viscount had arrived at the conclusion, he must suppose that the same rule was intended to apply to the other great cities and towns of Scotland. Secondly, it was proposed to apply a fund, hitherto a part of the hereditary revenue of the Crown, but which had recently been transferred to the Consolidated Fund, the Bishops' rents and tithes, to. the erection and endowment of Churches in certain Highland districts and parishes in which the tithes should be actually exhausted. And thirdly, it was proposed to repeal or amend an Act passed in the reign of Queen Anne, at the time of the Union of the two kingdoms, under • which the tithes of Scotland had been possessed by lay proprietors, with a view to facilitate the erection of Churches in those parishes in which the tcinds were exhalsted. He should now have some observations to make on different parts of this plan, but be most particularly wished their Lordships to believe that this question had not lost any of the in. Wrest which it had possessed —(Hear.) Not only had he never known anything like the interest which existed on this subject, but he believed there had never been a question of domestic policy which had agitated the Country to such an extent since the union of the two kingdoms. He was aware that a considerable number of petitions had been presented from the Dissenters against any measure of the kind suggested being adopted, and particularly of late an increased action had taken plaee among the Seceders from the Scotch Church ; but he was at it great 103 s to think what was the cause of the great zeal and activity oxhibited by the Dissenters On this point. The Seceders (Wins the Church of Scotland were in fact united so completely with that Church that their difficulties on the suhjeet were scarcely perceptible. The Members of the Establishment must have their good wishes, even though they should think that the mode which they had adopted of carrying out their views was not best calculated to secure the desired end.—(Hear.) But whatever might be the plan of the Noble Viscount opposite, accord ing to that which had been stated, his object would appear to be opposed to that of the Seceders, and to be of a nature which he (Lord Aberdeq), would not have ventured topoint out 4 for he said that he had detpique4 not to cram any funds in those places where they were most needed, am where the DlFsenters were numerous ; and Le had announced that i was his intention to afford assistance in those di,tricts where, although it might possibly be required, yet there was no pusitive information of it necessity, and where Dissenters did not exist. The Noble Viscount had always maintained that he was anxious to promote the good of the Established Church ; but he grieved to say that the pet fermances of the Government had not always been in conformity with its professions, Whence was it that this lamentable contrast existed in the conduct of the Noble Viscount and that notwitnstandine his personal the racter, his rank, and the honourable position he filled, his policy was not consistent ? It might, perhaps, arise from pressure of an influence, against which, no doubt, he had at first :true, glel, but against which he bad struggled in vain. —(Hear, hear.) It arose from the unfair situation in which the Noble Viscount was placed in which, bou n d as lie was, andwilling and desirous, as he belie;,, f . was—(Hear, hear;--to uphold all the institutions of the., found that h e was compelled, for his own suppos' country, he which he had adopted to secure the co-ejar,om of those who trete ,• It take the course leagued together on thi s po i nt.— ' short narrati ve o f t h e case flaw V a rt e,rat ear, lisar.) Ile thought that a before the House would not be out of place, in order that the troutz might judge of the propriety or impro. priety of the police 71 the Noble Viscount. In consequence of the great incroan of population which had taken place, and especially in tha: great citiersand towns of Scotland, it hod become manifest that it was utterly impossible for the religious establishment of the country to afthrd the necessary means of instruction to the greater portion of the population. But notwithstmding this had become evident, great intercessions were made by the Established Church, and in the course of a few years prat, three of four years he might say, not less than 20 0,009 d ISt4teen subscribed for the aurpose of building churches, and he believed that there were now not less than seventy churches in Scotland, which had either been built or were in progress of building with a view to increase the means of instruction to the poor; and it was to obtain a moderate endowment for these churches that Parliament was now appbed to for its assistance. In 1533 a Commit tee was appointed to inquire into and report upon the subject, as it ap peared unnecessarily, for the facts were well known ; but as the Church was unwilling to shrink from any Inquiry of this description, no oppo sition was offered to its appointment. The Secretory of State, in ad dressing a letter to the Noble Earl opposite, the first Lord of the Admi ralty, expressed a hope that the labours of the Committee would be closed in six months, and that the people and the church would be there fore tranquillized ; but no report seas made until I 537, which was the first that was delivered, and then that was followed by a second report at the commencement of the present session, and their Lordships had on the table of the House all the information thus attired on this im portant subject. The state of religious want which was disclosed was far beyond anything that could be conceived. In Edinburgh the amount of persons, taking into account all the exertions of the Member, of the Church and of Dissenters, and every means of religious instruc. Lion which had been adopted, was not less than forty-five thousand, without any means whatever of obtaining religious instruction, while in Glasgow the number was about 60,000, the amount of population in Edinburgh being 190,000, while that of Glasgow was 213,000. He knew that it had been said, notwithstanding the deficiency of means existing in Edinburgh there were many sittings in endowed churches which ere unlet ; and he recollected the Noble Lord opposite having a:J . ld that he did not well understand how people who wanted to sa'a to church failed in finding their way there. This remark waaperfectly just; but the misfortune was, first, the people slid net ;cant to go to church—(Heer, hear)—that was the evil; and, 'secondly, if they did want to go, they would not be able to afford to arrive there, because all these sittings were to be let, and, in order to obtain them, they must pay a price be yond their power, Now, Noble Lords must not imagine that the Church had anything to do with the letting of these sittings; it was not so : for in Edinburgh and Glasgow they were let by the magistrate, of the town, and in Glasgow the funds produced formed a part of what was called the common good, and belonged to the borough. Theministers of the Church, therefore, had no control over the admittance of the poorer classes, and he would also remark that theso sittings, although inlet, were not unoccupied by persons who went there, and who did not pay for them, but who ought to pay for them ; who went there on suf. ferance, and from whom, therefore, no fund was derived. But even it this existed to a greater extent, he begged to say that the Churches so situated were only a part of what was called the voluntary system. It was clear this could be only remedied by the territorial system, in op. position to the congregational system. The latter was a plan adopted by the Dissenters, and in which, of course, the system of voluntary at tendance was pursued ; but the territorial system was when a parish was allotted to an individual clergyman, who went out and compelled the people to go to the place in which he gave instruction, and it was only by this system, which had been eminently successful in Scotland, that it could be hoped that the wants which existed cauld be supplied. The other mode of building Churches for those who could not afford to fre quent them, never could supply the wants of the poorer classes. In two of the most populous parishes in Glasgow, it was found that exactly in proportion as the poverty of the inhabitants increased, so did their attendance at Church diminish ; for it was ascertained that in one of the parishes, where the tenements were rated at 20/. and upwards, the attendance at Church was 75i per cent., while in those parts of the city where the houses were of the yearly value of 3/ the proportion decreased to nine per cent. In another parish the num ber of persons attending Church, in the districts in which the houses were of the value of twenty pounds and upwards, the proportion was 654 per cent., while in that district in which the houses averaged only five pounds the numbers were in the ratio of 111 per cent. From this it appeared that the parishioners not hat'ing the power to attend very soon lost the inclination, and crime, vice, and ignorance were perpetuated. In 1536 four new Churches were opened in Glasgow. Two of these were quite filled with hearers, and the other two had large congregations; whilst in the old Chtirches In the city the attendance had been much increased, as had been proved by the increased amount of seat rents collected. This increasehad amounted to 1471. a-year, and the revenue was the best test of attendance. Both classes were, therefore, filled ; but so far from the building of Churches doing any great good, they might as well build mosques if they did not give to each Church a dis trict, and fix the labours of the Minister. The essence of the Chatten of Scotland, on which it depended for success, was this district or pa rochial system—(Hear, hear, hear)—the allotment of a particular district for the labours of the individuals employed in the Ministry. In addition to the new churches, there were sixty-three chapels of ease, which were now, in fact, churches, and to which districts should also he allotted ; for all sacred matters they were already the same as the parish churches. These great exertions, he must say, had been made on the faith—(Hear, hear)—that endowments would be granted by Parlia ment, as a necessary consequence of the necessity for the erection of these churches Which had been proved to exist in those districts ; and he thought also, that they might fairly consider that the faith of Go vernment was pledged to this grant. His Noble Friend (Viscount Melbourne) had, on a former night, stated how the Government in tended to act in this matter; lie stated that he was prepared to give aid to those parts of the country from which they had no reports, and of which, therefore, they could know nothing—(Hear, hear)—districts which were undoubtedly of great extent, but in which there was only a small population ; but with respect to towns in which the destitution had been proved to be enormous, and which Peculiarly and loudly called for assistance, the Noble Lord stated that he was determined to do nothing. How his Noble Friend could so stultify himself in the course which he proposed to take he )the Earl of Aberdeen) could not conjecture, When the Noble Lord expressed his desire to extend aid to the Highland parishes, would he recollect the reports, by which it was clear that the amount of Highland destitution in the city of Glasgow was greater than lie would find either in Argyle or Inverness P In Glasgow there were no less than 11,000 individuals, hard working men, with whom it was necessary to communicate in their own language, who were out of the reach of all the dissenting bodies, because not one would attend a dissenting congregation, but who were anxious and willing to receive religious instruction. And if the Noble Lord proposed, in honour and in good faith, to do any thing, he must extend his intentions to that which it was impos. sible to deny existed in this great city, and also in the other large Weems, in Dundee, Abereeen, Paisley, and other towns. Was it the intention of her Majesty's Government to leave unremedied this mass of ignorance and its natural consequences, vice and the increase of crime ?—(Hear, hear, hear.) Thirty years ago the amount expended for public prosecutions amounted only to 3,0001 ; it had now increased to 30,0001. and this increase was mainly owing to the absence of that r e l ig i ous i nstruction which the people had a right to expect. He remembered that some years ago that the late Lord Liver. pool, in coloquial but at the same time emphatic language, and whist) was at that period perfectly just, had observed that " ho eensidered Scot land to be the best-eonditioned country on the face of the earth." He (the Earl of Aberdeen) regretted to say that his country was fast losing that superiority in point of good conduct and morals which it had for mally possessed. If it were left in its present state of destitution, nothing but ignorance and crime must exist. Ile did not objoct to the proposal of his noble friend to grant relief to the Highland parishes, neither did he object to the fund out of which he proposed to grant it ; he did not wish to enter into an inquiry of the fund of bishops' rents and tithes, but he looked at it as the hereditary revenue, and as forming part of the consolidated fund; but -he thought that the state was bound to gran( aid to the established church, if a case of necessity had beenproved, out of any public fund, let it be what It might,—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Although, therefore, he had tio obteetion to the application of this - fund, he would not allow the establishing of the doctrine that the religious wants of the people ought to be considered in proportion to the amount of such funds, Neither could he enter upon the third part of the case, the altering of the act of 1707, by authority of which the tithes were held by the land proprietors. The Noble and Learned Lord who had then left the 110116 e had characterised the measure as an act of spoliation, amid in truth it was nothing less than spoliation of the landowners and of time clergy. He (sloe Earl of Aber deen) thought that the propasitien might be considered as a surprise upon all parties concerned. When the commission had issued lie had indeed looked into it, and remarking some terms which, as he consi. tiered, interfered with property not subject to the controul of Parlia ment, he had urged the question before their Lordships et souse length ; since that period Lord John Russell had addressed a letter to the Noble Earl opposite (the Earl of Minto), In whirls Ito adverted to the sub. ject, and said that another misapprehension, which was common, was that they int ended to interfere with private property, end Lord John Russell urged th e N o l ile supposition of Lord carefully to guard all persons against a this sort, that they meant to Interfere with the act of the Scottish Parliament transferring the property of the Church to the land proprietors in Scotland—(Hear, hear,)—and he (the Earl of Aberdeen) recollected last year that the Noble Viscount, he believed, not knowing much about the matter, threw out the suggestion to which he had advertea, and which had produced a great effect in the Assembly of Scotland. A learned gentleman who was a member of that Assembly, and who was also a great friend of the Government, had said, in reference to the report which had arrived of the notice thrown out by his Noble Friend, that he was clearly of opinion that, situated as the teinds were, this was Ileitis( r a politic nor a just appli, cation of them, for though they were purchased subject to the furls_ diction of the Court of Tcinds, yet by Act of Parliament it was fixed that such interference could not take place without the consent of the herders. If this part of the measure weir persisted in, he adviseed the tenet proprietors of tithes to look to themselves, - te a arra nge. meat, however old, could bo eonsidered cafe, no plitiluie could be non. sitlered secure. As the humble advocate s4' the Church of Scotland he thought that he might with t -1 414nee appeal upon that occasion for sympathy and support to the flight Rev. Bench.—(Cheers.) The Church of scotlancl tv.as grateful for the countow.tpoq which it had reb,iyecl from the Biala Reverend Prelates, itild he could assure them that all those feelings of ittl i stllosity and of estrangement which hail in former time; ebteined existence had assed away. I If he recollected right, the N o b le Earl (Ninth) had said tlia p t he ( was the only Member qt:the House who was also a Member of the Church of seetland. Now, lie (the Earl of Aberdeen) professed himself a Member of that Church—nay, he had for many years held (Alice in that elnirch, and he said it with the deepest resaeet for the church taf Valalantl .

He ußaftectedly regretted that ea. _mt it was said, " Money is wanted, not to build new churcbca —that would be unnecessary until the present churches were tilled— alit in order to endow the ministers, that they may be able to let the 'eats more cheaply." The ministers said, "We have got persons in nir parishes who cannot take seats, and we must diminish the price in inter to induce the people to take them." He confessed that to his Viscount Melbourne) a result of that description appeared to be very stn. :et tain. The greatest proportion of 'inlet sittings was among these that vere let at the lowest rate, and he doubted whether further endowt I nests would have the effect expected by the Noble 'Earl. But ,here was another point, with respect to the claim raade on behalf ,f these great towns for assistance, which alermed him considerably, and which induced him to pause before lio embarked in a course the end of which lie could not foresee, and of which he could not foretel the consequences. His Noble Friend said, " You won't give asssistance to Edinburgh or to Glasgow, and by parity of reasoning you will not give it to Aberdeen, Dundee, Paisley, and the other great towns of Scotland." Now, the Commissioners had gone through two of ahe great towns of Scotland (Glasgow and Edinburgh), and there had been shown, according to the Noble Earl, a great amount of reli gious destitution. Did their Lordships know the amount of destitution of religious instruction in the Cities of. London and Westminster e--._ (Here the Noble Viscount read an extract from a report, the title of which did not reach the gallery, front which it appeared that in thirty four parishes in London and Westminster, containing a poula n oC 1,137,000, there was on l y church accommodation for 101,(18 p 11) tio Et, therefore, apprehended that the amount of destitution of religio'as In. struction, and of the means of attending religious worship, were infinitely greater in this metropolis than in any part of :Scotland. Nay , the tw o cases were not to be compared or named in the same %,ay. What did their LMdships suppose would be the case with the other great towns in England and Scotland, into whose eoro i sition they must necessarily enter, if they once suffered a grant to be. made in this instance from the gene ral resources of the country instead of from th e appropriate funds of the Church it se lf , to "whiah—and he viewed it with wonder and astonishment —the triendi of the Church of Scotland clung with Wood:rant tenacity. " Let us," said they, " have it from the s`onsolidated Fund, not from the Bishops' tehads ; tee would rather not have it from that ; but let us once get our hands into the pockets of the people of the country, and we shall have ample means without diminishing our own resources." Now, there were, as their Lordships well knew, many great and benevolent objects which they all had in view, anti were all anxious, if possible, to accomplish. There were many evils to remedy, many nuisances to lie done away, many advantages to be gained by a liberal expenditure; but for which they knew they must not appeal to the power and resources of the cots. try. They must consider what was proper and what was possible te, h e done. If they were to be required to provide for the general education of the people, for a system o f pr i son discipline, and for e v ery sort of purpose that might be devised for the benefit of the coutiOry, while, on the other hand, no retrenchment was to be for a morneed admitted, how, lie would ask, could such a magnitude of claims on the public be/net ? All ',vas to be expense—all was to he demand on the public ; while at the same time there was the greatus, possible unwillingness to admit any thing like retrenchment s fie apprehended that if he were to pro pose any addition to the public burdens for these various purposes, anal especially to meet the claim on the part of the Church of Scot land, it would not be looked upon with any particular favour, or submited to with very great patience. Their Lordships well knew that the affairs of a country inua;t be conducted upon the same principles as those of a private man. Doubtless there were many things very desir able to be obtained and done by a man in his private affoirs ; but he knew well that if he borrowed money for the purpose of effecting those changes and improvements which he desired, it 'might not turn out so profitable as he expected, or, at all events, in sufficient time to pre vent his enti re ru i n. It was something 'like this in the affairs of a country. It behoved them to co nsider not only w h at ought to be done, not only to what it was wise and eXpe•nent to do, but w h at i t was possible do. And among those elmjeuts which it was desirable to effect, they must look to those first which were must immediate and most necessary for the public benefit and advantages. When, too, he looked at the amount of the expense which such grants as that now called for neces urily must induce, lie was unwilling, he was unprepared, to be the Mi. Witter at present to embark in it, or at any time, without much further con aideration of the subject than had been yet given to it. The Noble Earl had said that he had no objection to take the Bishops' teinds, but he held that the Church had a claim upon the state to the amount which it might require. He was ready to glee the Bishops' fiends, but he did most distinctly and decisively, whatever might be the consequence, deny the claim of the Church upon the State for whatever might be re quired. Whatever could be done should certainly be done with pru dence and wisdom. It was a great, useful, and salutary object, but at the same time, he thought there was a disposition to pursue that object '.with great recklessness, with great impudence, and in a manner they would find to be moat dangerous and destructive. The Noble Viscount then adverted to the argument used by the Earl of Aberdeen respect ing the operation of the Act of 1707, but he was for some time so very imperfectly heard in the gallery, that we cannot pretend to give even the purport of this part of the Noble Viscount's speech. Whet, we next understood the Noble Viscount lie was arguing that it was wise and prudent (now that their Lordships were wishing to effect precisely the same objects that were intended to be effected by the Act of 17(17) on them to look back to that Act, and consider whether, consistently with the original intention of the L^gislature, the machinery of that Act might not be found more effi cient for effecting the great object which they were all desirous, if pos sible, should be effected, and which it was the intention and object of all their Lordships to effect, than any other course that might be sug. gested. This, it appeared to him, was the natural, th.e wise, and the prudent course they were bound to pursue. Unquestionably if this could be effected, everybody would agree that it ought to be done from the resources of the Church of Scotland itself; everybody would agree that the rengious wants of Scotland should be provided Inc by Scotland itself. It wag better, much more wise, much more prudent, that this should be, than that they should rashly and imprudently plunge themselves into a course by which a great charge and burden would be unposed on the country for providing Church accommodation, which would no doubt begin small at first, but would necessarily increase, and become a most onerous impost on the general resources of the country. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had heard with considerable surprise the answer given by the Noble Viscount to the clear and abl•,. speech of his Noble Friend on the opposite bench. He thou eat that the perusal of the report of the Commissioners would have time Noble Viscount that there was a large number of the * inhabitants of convinced Glasgow and Edinburgh who were totally destitute o religious instruction or pastoral superintendence.—(neae) f. the advantage of The Com missioners seemed to have pursued their ine ,d i ey deity. He never saw a document which stated with more minuteness with the utmost assi and particularity what they had been 'a'-eputed to inquire into. It ap. neared that the Clergy of the Churc l a of Scotland condemned the system of free sittings. What they wonted Was not congregations, but they wanted a territorial arrangement, the same as were in this country called parishes. What they wishcal was to have a certain congregation, over whom they might exercise a wholesome influence--that they might go to their homes and talk to them, and point out the ingiCa.:l-4tlian to evile that would result to them from the neglect of their reli. gents duties, and to admonish them with respect to habits of intent. perance and idlences. The Neile Viscount, after denying the existenoa of the alleged wants, proceeded to express the grounds on which he reinsed to supply those wants. Instead of answering the speech of the Noble Earl, the Noble Lord contended that If he mode a grant to the Church of Scotland, the Church of England Vionld oawlinlarneeTutr:eusl).l He (the w likewiseaa nothingsk l ‘ st v m assistanceri,ieh ti,the c i r r t , hofoftl) England i t: g o t :I: n o d ? i ( d i a e t i e ,r d ee F a t t i e n ( d i . here anything to do with the Consolidated Fund.
